(Heb.,יוֹרָ; Sept. Ι᾿ωράμ ), prop. a shortened form of the name JEHORAM (q.v.), for which it is indifferently used in the Heb., and arbitrarily in the A.V., as the following classification shows:

a. The son of the king of Zobah (2 Samuel 8:10; Sept. Ι᾿εδδουράμ ; elsewhere called HADORAM).

b. The king of Judah (2 Kings 8:21; 2 Kings 8:23-24; 2 Kings 11:2; 1 Chronicles 3:11; elsewhere Jehoram).

c. The king of Israel (2 Kings 8:16; 2 Kings 8:25; 2 Kings 8:28 [twice], 2 Kings 8:29 [twice]; 2 Kings 9:14 [twice], 2 Kings 9:15-16 [twice], 2 Kings 9:29; incorrectly for Jehoram, 2 Kings 9:17; 2 Kings 9:21 [twice], 2 Kings 9:22-23; elsewhere correctly so).

d. The Levite (1 Chronicles 26:25,יֹרָ ). i.e. By error for JOZABAD (1 Esdras 1:9).
